[General Questions and Answers] Ishan Sardar:
Hello guys, I recently bought a xperia x10 off my friend. It was running on 1.6 Donut. When I bought the phone the camera was ok (I didn't took any picture but I could go through settings and stuff). I've updated my phone to 2.3.3 today and now whenever I start the camera and start to go through settings or try to take picture it says: "Sorry! Activity Camera (in application Camera) is not responding"

The only options are Force Close and Wait. I've also used "Camera 360" it worked for a while, took a couple of picture and then the same thing happend to that too.

Could it be a hardware issue? cuz I can't return the phone now :(

Any idea :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] mahesh911:
For me tooo!!!

same problm occuring for me too...i dont kno y.. is it coz of som othr apps installed or hardware error...i dont kno...needs help..updated to 2.3.3 on aug 9...

Same thing happenig here.. please help
[Windows Phone 7 General] multidink:
No idea if this a new feature but I stumbled upon it today.

I downloaded a zip from my Dropbox account. IE9 opened the zip file adding number to the file. It's the [1] you see in the photo. After downloading the contents are made visible.

I could play the audio files and I think video will work too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
Nothing new, it can even open .exe files. I haven't got WP7 NDK so I can't try any native WP7 executable though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
What? Seems like you have no idea (at all!) what are you talking about...
[Windows Phone 7 General] slimshady322:
Well nice to know anyway.

Is this already in 7712?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
ok maybe I am stupid but please explane what is new here ?

and please explane to me what this has to do with 7720 ?

and if it is really 7720 then please tell me how to get that build because I still have the 7712 build and not the rtm.

Greetings Cees
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
What's new for me? %) I've never heard about WP7 NDK but of course know Android's NDK (and still have no idea what is the name of the official manufacturer's SDK for Windows Phone 7)
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
Oh sure there is NDK, just not publicly available =). I have a lot of things I should not be having, but WP7 NDK and HD2 BSP seems like impossible to get my hands on.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
How do you know what Platform Builder for WP7 (probably but I don't know exact name!) called NDK??? Any prooflink? Or it's just your imagination? Are you working for Samsung/HTC/Nokia?
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
I am not working with anybody.

I think that OEMs might be having some (parts) of NDK - just take a look, they build apps like flashlight and since these things don't have their .NET API, they had to use something - NDK - to build native library that exposes these APIs ;).

NDK is not platformbuilder. Platformbuilder is tool, that builds system for the target platform from some parts (CE kernel, WP build, then you also need BSP for the target device containing drivers).
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
Seems that you are just messing a lot of different things... It calls Windows CE/Mobile SDK, not a NDK (NDK is a "Native Development Kit" from Google for Android platform). Windows CE (what is the WP7 based on) have ability to run not only native but also managed (.NET) code. You may build standalone executables for CE starting from Visual C++ Embedded 3.0 (just provide a correct libraries for linking).

There is no thing such a "top-secret magical NDK" :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
Which is what they is called WP7 NDK. You develop native libraries with this kit:p.

//

Android has SDK which compiles stuff in Java into managed code.

Android has NDK which compiles stuff in C/C++ into native code.

Same stuff, different brand.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
It's ridiculous, named by whom? By you? Sorry but you don't have enough authority and experience on my sight. BTW, you may call it whatever you want: NDK, DDK, WP7K but please not on xda-dev forum! Let's call things by real not imaginary names.

P.S. Just asked one of the WP7 developers from MS, he pointed me to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg156052.aspx . Try to find NDK word on these pages!
[Windows Phone 7 General] cina:
ZIP from 7004...

Zip functionality was in 7004 already.

I've installed certificates for Chevron and for our exchange server zipped and sent to myself. I downloaded it through OWA (Outlook Web Access) in IE Mobile. It worked since from the beginning. Sure of it.

Regards, Cina.
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
@sensboston

You do realize that that link is for building WCE7 images and NOT building APPS for it, right? "Building, testing, tuning, and debugging a Windows Embedded Compact powered device".

And you don't need SDK or NDK for WCE7, you need SDK or NDK or whatever you want to call it for WP7. They do differ.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
Listen, OndraSter, you can build native apps for WP7 (based on WEC7) using eVC 3.0, eVC 4.0, VS 2003, VS 2005 and VS 2008 (you need only WEC7 or what exactly running in WP7) SDK (yes, it calls SDK not NDK!). But you can't run "native" (how u called) application because it's not allowed by WP7 security. Very simple.

P.S. Are you trolling me?
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
You can build apps as long as they don't use anything with WP7 shell. (You surely know why.)

Oh and now you are saying that it is named SDK? Do you have proof?

I asked WithinRafael on twitter. Reply? "It is called Hybrid SDK in circles." It is still not official reply, but he is the closest one as I can get for now. And it is not NDK - sorry for that, but it is not SDK either.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
Oh Lord I can't believe my eyes! Thanks! :D

<skipped>

No more my comments on this topic, I'm too tired :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
WOW what a dev talk in here :p

so now that is all cleared could you please make us a wifi router (I want to donate to that if you want ) ?

you seem to be the right person to ask.

Greetings Cees Heim.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Useless guy:
OndraSter, andoid's native SDK calls NDK, but WP's doesn't depend on it. Noone knows, how does it named, but every previous version of it for WM called SDK.

Sorry for my english, I hope u understood me.
[About XDA developers] haiggou:
since some days i have an problem with downloading attachments from the forum (rootet buzz), same problem with qr-code. always get an download error

please help
[About XDA developers] Romuluscrohns:
I just joined xda, assuming that I'd be able to download attachments, since I haven't been able to (never tried before today, though). Unfortunately, logging in seems to have made no difference.

Clicking on a download link takes me to the main forum index. Right click/'save as' doesn't work either.

Can you tell us what Operating System, Browser, and any download accelerators are you using?

It basically comes down to not being able to download via the stock Browser on an Android device. I have no problems using the XDA Premium app or using IE9 and Chrome on my PC. I know that I was able to download via the Android Browser in the past, so I do not understand why it no longer works.
[About XDA developers] Romuluscrohns:
I can see the logo. I've tried multiple ways of downloading on both my pc and my phone.

On my Toshiba laptop: Firefox 5 running on Windows Vista. I think I had an accelerator, but I disabled the add-on in question with no effect.

On my Droid X, I tried both Dolphin Browser HD and the XDA app.

All attempts redirected me to the main page except for with the app--that downloaded about 20% of the file then stopped.

It is possible that my craptastic satellite internet provider has an accelerator or something. I honestly don't know. I'll try over 3G next time I have a signal. (no cell service at my house :\ )

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avengethis1:
so i was reflashing to cm7 #71 last night and i always do a clean install by formating boot system and cache. after i formated the 3 idk why but i let the phone shut off.

now i am stuck at just the vibrant logo. i have tried getting into cwm and download mode with no success. i plugged it in to the computer to see if i can at least access to adb no help there either.

does any body have a solution to this on this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
Um, first question; why do you format /boot? No where in any directions do they tell you to format that as that's where you're kernel is located.

And, if you can't access dl mode with the hardware buttons, why didn't you headed the large red letters telling you not to use CM7 if you can't access dl mode without the hardware buttons?

Have.you tried vol+ vol- and then USB? If you're running gb bootloaders (which you shouldn't be), then I don't know the button combo.

But the only way to recover is by geting into dl mode and Odin back to jfd.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avengethis1:
I always format/ boot. Its a cleaner install and have no problems going from multiple kernel changes. I could get into download using button combo before I flashed. Now I cant
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T.C.P:
try this always works. take battery out phone, plug in usb to pc and phone hold vol + and -, and insert battery at same time, should put u in download mode.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deziguy420:
Assuming u have a froyo bootloader

1) Power down ur phone

2) hold volume up + volume down then plug ur phone to a PC or laptop....don't let go of two volume buttons...

3) should b in download mode...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avengethis1:
ive tried every combo i can think of. still just sits at vibrant. was able to make a jig that put it into DLM but then was getting reconized at all by my computer even with all the correct drivers..... i think i actually might be outta luck
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HaloMediaz:
You could get a JIG which will automaticly put it into download mode. It can be found here http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0053H73JQ/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/188-7446597-2980456
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avengethis1:
@halo

yea i was able to make one for 2 dollars and it works beautifully just now i cant get the computer to reconize the phone. i have the right drivers loaded but its seeing it as some crazy junk

edit: well got all the drivers working. made a new better jig and was able to get odin to reconize it.

didnt flash though. seemed jammed up. so i took it off of odin which left the phone in the phone to computer screen( PROGRESS) plugged it back into the computer. odin saw it and presto! back up and running on JFD
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traderx2009:
Ditto

I have done the same thing! Sent you a pm... Let me know what driver config you had to use to get it working.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
did you drained your battery till its fully dead ?

now you need to charge it (boost) at a certain point for it to turn on

you need minimal of 3.6v on your battery to power on the phone.

you can see the voltage in your battery with a multimeter

i had this problem, I drained my battery completely, when I plug it in, the led flashing 11 times last 3 flashes are slow then goes dark.

(my battery had only 2,80v, and i had to boosted to 3.6v)

the original charger has an output 0f 3.6v, i was lucky to have a external batery charger, and it has 4.2v output, so was a little faster to boost my battery,

-methed one by lalitsehgal21

1. Take a spare usb cable.

2. cut it from between.

3. Peel two wires black and red from tip.

4. connect black to (-) point and red to (+) point on batt and secure it via tape.

5. plug it in any power source usb or charger.

6. lve for 20 mins have coffee.

7. remove it and put in fone.

8. Last shot as its almost discharged keep charger plugged in till it rches 50 then flash new recovery.

9. Buy me coke.....coz i dt like beer

-methed one by GiZZy (the led light will not turn on)

1. cut out a strip of plastic that covers only the middle 2 pins between the battery and the phone

2. plug phone in charger

3. place strip between battery and phone on the 2 middle pins

4. put battery in place (2 middle pins isolated)

5. wait to charge for about 10 minutes

6. remove everything, plug battery in and power on

-methed two by ikhzter (i didnt try this one)

1. Take out battery and put it back in

2. Charge for 20 minutes.

3. Take out battery and put it back in again

4. Try powering on now

YOU CAN ALWAYS CHECK THE PROGRESS WITH A MULTIMETER

DON'T FORGET ONLY PUT THE BATTERY ON YOUR PHONE IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN 3.6 V (check with a multimeter)
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
I don't really understand in what situation one would need this. When I drain my battery until its fully dead, then yes, it won't turn on while it's plugged in, but if I just charge for 30 seconds to a minute and then unplug the charger, the phone will turn on fine... Then I can continue charging normally after the phone boots up.

Does that not work for you?
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
no because i have the CWM recovery, and dont charge the battery when the phone is off :(
[HTC Sensation] sevag00:
Then you need to update your recovery. Download Rom manager and then install clockwork recovery through Rom manager.
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
i have the last....

4.0.1.5
[HTC Sensation] Rsotbiemrptson:
Different method

Hello,

I was in your situation and was able to use the battery from both my nexus and my myTouch to boot in to the bootloader and flash the stock recovery. I had to hold the batteries in place as they are not the right size (just line up the contact points). After flashing the stock recovery I was able to put my sensation battery back in, let it charge for a few minuets and then it would power on. Hope this helps. I have attached the stock recovery from the TMOUS 1.29 rom that I used.

Rsotbiemrptson
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
It's not about the version number.

If your recovery is blue, then you don't have the latest.

Download Rom Manager from the market and inside of the program, use the Flash Recovery function.

The new recovery will be orange. This recovery is released directly from Koush, who makes the recoveries, instead of from Alpharevx. Also, it will allow you to use the very useful features of Rom Manager, whereas with the blue recovery, you can't do anything with Rom Manager.

It will fix the charging issue, and it a lot more convenient than ripping apart a charger and jump-starting your phone battery, or than flashing the stock recovery just to be able to charge your battery.

Edit:

When you charge your battery from a dead state, the led will blink non-stop. That's good. Let it do that for 30 seconds to a minute, then UNPLUG your charger and turn your phone on. It should turn on.

Then when it boots up, charge normally.
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
4.0.1.5 is the orange version, i updated from ROM MANAGER ;)

and i had this problem with the cwm orage version, the last version
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
See my edit to my post above. Does that fix your issue?
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
the led flashing 11 times last 3 flashes are slow then goes dark.
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
But have you tried letting it flash for a bit, unplugging the phone, and then try turning it on?
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
i did that, and didnt work
[HTC Sensation] saynotopunx:
I was worried about this for a while, too. What worked for me was to use a friend's phone (also a Sensation) to charge my battery, update the new ClockworkMod Recovery, then put my battery back in to my phone. Took about 10 seconds to power on, but by golly it works now.

EDIT: No, apparently it was the spare battery that worked fine. My original battery won't charge in either phone. Really don't have any spare cables to be hacking up. I guess I have no option other than to have another battery sent out.
[HTC Sensation] argh9:
I have the same problem, it is now completely dead.

I do have the latest ROM Manager through Market and flashed the latest CWM, yes the text is orange.

What to do :[
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
do what is in first post !!!!
[HTC Sensation] jomaxwel:
So is the charging issue fixed or not. I thought the new recovery fixed that issue. It's the only thing keeping me from s-off and rooting my phone. I run the battery totally dead a few times a week.
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
nope, not yet
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
Man this sucks. I'm having the hardest time getting this to work.
[HTC Sensation] solarnz:
WOAH.... I would advise against this completely. You run the risk of destroying the battery this way.

If you really need to do it this way, using 3 AA batteries would be better. (for a voltage of 4.5).

Using 9 volts is grossly overvolting the battery, which is extremely bad for Li-ion / Li-Po batteries.

Also remember, you only need to charge it enough so that the phone can turn on and boot.
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
thanks, removed
[HTC Sensation] argh9:
I finally got my phone to boot, I took out my battery and charged it manually for 3 minutes. To do that I splitted my one and only HTC charging cable and connected the red to + and the black to -.

Then I installed the battery and started the phone, in a real hurry I connected my HTC charging cable together again and started charing the phone normally again. Guess I am safe for now, will let it charge until tomorrow and then go out and grab a new charging cable, does it have to be a HTC cable or can I use whatever usb to miniusb cable?
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
This was definitely the easiest way. Took seconds. Booted up into CWM, it provides an option to mount from there, put the stock recovery back on and charged the phone.

All I need to do is reflash CWM and not let my phone die lol
[HTC Sensation] BlackVision:
This sucks... I either need another charged battery or have to splice some wire to start it?

Method 2 doesn't work, anybody try this to work?
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
yes you have :(
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
Everyone here, please visit the HTC sensation general faq's guide i created for a link to a

WORKING RECOVERY MENU THAT CHARGES WHILE OFF.

Thanks. Thank you vlad though for this guide. :) To flash the recovery simply put it on your SDcard and reboot your phone into bootloader, and do the following command.

fastboot flash recovery namethatyounamedtherecovery.img

to make things easier, just rename the recovery to recovery.:)

When your device does die, just plug up to a computer and run

adb reboot or adb reboot bootloader after letting it sit for a second, it should reboot. try to plug into a wall first to give it some type of charge. keep taking the battery out and then putting it back in, plugging into a computer, then doing those commands above until it works.
[HTC Sensation] dellybelly:
Good tip; i'm going to try my best not to have to use it but I will definitely drain my batt until dead at some point...no question about that.
[HTC Sensation] BlackVision:
There is so much guidance on adding the working recovery... That is the easy part. The hard part is just turning the phone on when your battery is dead. The only way is to get a new battery (3o bucks) or get some external charger (more money). So basically this fix can not be completed until i get my phone turned on.
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
I just left the battery charging in my phone, checking every 10 minutes with a multimeter. When that sucker hit 3.76v I switched batteries and hit adb reboot right away. >:D
[HTC Sensation] kripwalk:
If you have 2 sensations you have 2 batteries. Will it work I'd you switch the batteries. Will it be able to work? And just leave the dead battery to charge? I did it and it worked
[HTC Sensation] parapent:
The solution for me was:

To put new recovery zip on root of the SD.

Then i booted with an incredible S battery and sticky tape to fix the battery, into recovery mode and flashed it with the new zip.

That was it.
[HTC Sensation] crx4xharder:
Cwm recovery is definitely the issue here. I had to go buy a second battery because of this as well. But strangely enough, I have a second light above the htc symbol at the top. Ir type light. Anyone else have this? I also can't boot into bootloader with volume down and power while cwm is installed.
[HTC Sensation] fabs0:
Hi,

i'm having problems using the USB-cable solution...

Does it have to be a micro USB-Cable or can i take any USB cable?

Should I use the wall-plug or is my laptop OK?

THX
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
you can use ANY USB CABLE
[HTC Sensation] gbear14275:
I'm having issues as well. Taped it on and let it charge for at least an hour... didn't seem to help.

Any other ideas?
[HTC Sensation] fabs0:
Hi, I got it working now!

You really need to measure the volts of the battery...

I started with 2.5volts and it took about 2.5hrs of USB-cable charging to get it up to 3.65 volts.

I never was so happy to see the HTC bootup animation :D
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
i'm very glad that i could help ;)
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
If you fully drained your battery than turn on your PC and hook your phone on the PC and it will fire up after 5seconds. After like 5mins you can put it on a normal charger.

Tested and worked.
